This software has audio problem. I installed this software on my 2 home PCs (I am a Network Engineer for a Fortune 100 company). There is no audio during Listening Comprehension section. I left a voice mail and email to ETS, and they agreed that there is a problem and they are working on it as of 09/01/2000. Do not buy this.

I bought this program 10 days ago. But I can't use this program, because of Audio Problem. I can't hear any sound in Listening Section. But when Tutorial and Direction part, I heard all sound that make.

I installed this program at 3 computers, But Same thing happened.

So I exchange this for a new one. But same it is.

I Send E-mail to Tech-Support@ets.org

But they did not reply.

Do not buy this program.

This software CDROM has an audio problem in the listening comprehension part. I just can say you ! DO NOT BUY IT! .

The worst is that after you finish the tests, you only got the range of the results. You will never got to know the correct answer. No answer, no explanation. How worst it is!

Don't buy it!

If you do, you will be left high and dry without anything to prepare for the test with. There is no audio for the Listening Comprehension section. You can get better products in the market for the same money. If I could, I wouldn't even give it a star.

As is pointed out below, this CD-ROM has the audio problem. It also occurs under Windows 95 Japanese version. Being unable to take practice tests, I found it useless.

I was left without any preparation for the Toefl test because of this software. When I bought it I checked the tutorial (and the audio worked just fine unlike the previous reviews). But When I wanted to use this software to practice on the weekend before I took the test, whenever I tried to run the practice tests I got a page fault exception and I had to restart my computer.

I think it is outrages for ETS to sell this product with so many bugs.

As usual, ETS has put out another good introductory book that explains basic structure and format of the test. This will provide great help for those who are taking the test first time, but for the students who have taken the test several test, students must look for addtional helps on grammar and structural section as well as vocab and reading section.

The book is very useful for my preparation of TOEFL test.
